Ahhhhh the Holidays.
Livejournal is being incredibly weird for me lately. It'll randomly log me out even though I thought i selected the "keep me logged in" box, its rss support apparently picks at random whether it wants to notify me of locked posts or not, and its rss support also seems to delight in not notifying me until like half a day has gone by of new posts, even though I have the rss options set to "check every 10 minutes for new notifications". Aside from that I guess everything works okay, except that I've been wanting to make a new layout for a while now but am really sick of hassling with the options. If I took the time to read up on more html I might be able to work something better out but I get tot the point where I just feel its fine as is over fiddle-fucking with minutiae.
As for the effect Dies Natalis Solis Invicti Christmas is having here, well... lets say everything's falling apart. There's only 2 kinds of food in the house; cereal based foods, and foods you can't eat by themselves (such as mustard or shredded mozzarella wtf). I walked in the kitchen today after I woke up and my currently-only-christmas-present is just sitting there at my place at the table, like it wasn't supposed to be a surprise or anything. I'm not even sure if I'm actually getting any other presents or not. Apparently my parents want me and my sister to go buy our own presents for ourselves from them. It doesn't matter that we've given them a (short) list of things we'd like, we're not getting them if we don't go get them ourselves apparently. There's of course,t he perrenial catch invloved; no one wants to drive us anywhere for any reason whatsoever. SO they want us to somehow magically transport there and transport back I suppose. (the only reason I have even 1 present is because my sister had to fucking FORCE my father to drive her to the bookstore yesterday. I swear he's the biggest baby, he freaking throws temper-tantrums and he's nearly fucking 60 years old.) We don't have a tree this year, and we always had a tree, every year >_>
Whatever. My omi sent me some money for christmas and late birthday. I have enough to buy the Wii... but I'd rather just stick it in savings. Scratch that, I closed the savings account because 5/3 was being a bitch whenever i would make withdrawls, like they fucking own my money. I'll just hide it until I get a new account XD ... Fuck I wanna get away from here so bad ._.
